0014// [Open Comment Log] Death

[consummateturk]

[This is all audio and Veld sounds like shit. Worse than shit. Death maybe warmed over. Maybe.]

...not. Funny.

[It's interrupted by a hacking sound. Though to his credit, the Turk weathers it alright.]

I'll be better in a few days.... I hope.

[ooc: VELLY HAS TYPHOID FEVER!! XD He's not going to open his door, but he'll hack at you]

[Jinx, taking his weekly stroll about the ship, never expected to hear the sound of death. Well, at least not coming from what sounded like Veld.

Jinx banged on the door.]

Someone diein' in there?

[consummateturk]

[Veld hears the banging and manages to drag himself out of bed. The only reason he knows that he actually hears a knock is that he felt the vibration. He'd been hearing things all day, like his dead ex wife's voice, amongst the worst]

I [Veld coughs and can feel his nose bleed. He wipes the back of his hand against it.] Feel like it. May be catching, stay out there.

[standardpackage]

[Oh, Veld. What a funny man you are. Jinx is just going to chat for a bit.]

Didn't think it was possible ta' get sick here.

[consummateturk]

[This is fine, one would not like to puke ick all over an acquaintance. That would mar the relationship slightly]

I didn't either. [there's a loud hacking sound] I blame Redd. [Veld breathes as deeply as possible and tries to steady the urge to hack up a lung] Is anyone else ill?

[standardpackage]

I'm guessin' yeah. Th' network sounds like death.

[Jinx actually wouldn't mind being puked on all that much. With all the time he spends in a bar drunk with his friends, someone is bound to get puked on.]

[consummateturk]

[He laughs a bit that turns into a huge coughing fit.] At least I'm not alone. Is... there tea up at the buffet still? Something hot?

[standardpackage]

Yeah, I'll get ya' some a that an' some soup.

[He doesn't mention the whiskey he's getting because that's a given.

In a few minutes, Jinx returns with a tray full of hot deliciousness.]

Room service.

[consummateturk]

[He owes you one, Jinx. The whiskey was a given and needed to clear his nose. Veld opens the door and looks like death without any warming over. He hacks again, mindful to not cough in Jinx's direction.]

Redd knows how to throw his weight around, wouldn't you say?

[standardpackage]

[Wow, looks like the grim reaper missed one on his last round. Jinx shields his nose and mouth with an elbow before handing over the booze.]

Looks like. Never seen a sick person in months.

ooc; I fail forever at tagging

[consummateturk]

[The grim reaper better watch his or her ass, Veld's none too happy with them.]

It does complicate the way that I see the boat, I suppose.

[if they were all really dead, then how could they get sick. However, if the boat was really purgatory or a form of celestial punishment anything was possible, wasn't it?]
